(Atlantic) The Atlantic City Council designated July 2, July 3, and July 4 for the public use of fireworks within City Limits, from noon to 11:00 p.m. each day.
The Council adopted the ordinance on June 17, 2020. The regulation allows the Council to pass an annual resolution setting dates when using fireworks within city limits.
Atlantic Mayor Grace Garrett asks those using fireworks to be courteous to their neighbors.
The law bans the discharge of fireworks within 300 feet of a hospital or long-term care facility. The ordinance also states no person under the age of 18 shall discharge DOT 1.4 class fireworks without adult supervision. Consumers must follow the directions on the package, and sky lanterns without a tether rope are strictly prohibited.
